It’s July 12th on a Wednesday afternoon. This week is remote orientation with my organization, Seed Global Health. All of the Seed Educators - as we are called - are in it together. I have one more day tomorrow, and depart from Portland at almost midnight on Thursday. My good friends Sharon and Duwayne have been instrumental in easing my way through this, and I am grateful for that. It’s a 28 hour flight altogether with two connections. Uganda is 9 hours ahead of Portland. My final pack is today and tomorrow, and it’s really almost finished. 

Today I got to play with the band one last time - Duwayne, Jerry, John and Larry, and missing was Darryl… what a blast that was playing music with these fine fellows! A good memory for sure. 

Now on to creating more. I will post updates and photos while in Uganda. More to follow ❤️

Walked up the road with another educator, we had a great chat about —guess what— midwifery.  Tomorrow I meet the rest of the Uganda team and our country team as well.
